Corruption in Africa
Corruption in Nigeria
It didn’t begin in 1960
When you first made Lagos your capital city
It begin when you lost your face
As you sold your African race
It all began when you endured several whips
And set your fellow man on European ships
With our million and one sweats adding salts to the earth
For the way out was worse as the way out was death
I watched from the distance
As my city burned
While oil drew from the ground
As my city turned
Men losing their minds
While we writ in pain
With the grounds crying out
For the blood of those slain
They rid her of her beauty
They rid her of her pride
With a façade as they masked their true intentions
With promises that died
Europe with its strength
Grabbed her by her thigh
And raped and rid us of our pride
And everything we ever held high
Did we lose the Black soul?
Was our purpose all betrayed?
Did we lose ourselves trying to attain
To what the foreigners portrayed?

In 1619 they were patiently waitin'
For a ship that carried slaves that was changin' the nation
The white man was a cannibal, prayin' to Satan
Hatred, contempt – a pity of patronization
That's the corner stone everything racism based in
The African had a more advanced civilization
Black was slave, Master was white, rationalization
Fifty million dead, that's Western civilization
At first they appeared in the north
And they were helpless in the face of superior force
And all of them were chained together, they really was lost
Racism isn't natural, it's merely divorce
Before the slave trade, black was considered distasteful
By the Oxford dictionary, I find it disgraceful
It's not a natural tendency to be bitter and hateful
It's the natural enemy of the critical staple
Slavery grew as the plantation system grew
The reason for that's kinda easily traceable
Society of helpless dependence was capable
Of saying, "Fuck a slave master! You're in slavery too!"
